Essential Vocabulary Selection: A Teacher's Guide to Prioritizing Words and Phrases

Determining essential vocabulary is crucial for effective teaching. Educators should analyze various resources such as GPS, PICASSO, and high-frequency word lists, in addition to textbooks and reading materials. Key questions to consider include which words enhance text comprehension, the students' prior knowledge, and the significance of concepts for pre-teaching. Additionally, teachers should evaluate words' frequency, context clues, opportunities for grouping, and strategies for fostering meaningful use. Such strategies will help integrate vocabulary into students' lives and make learning enjoyable and effective.

They should examine: • GPS • PICASSO • Reading material – textbooks, etc • High-frequency word lists 10 Questions to ask yourself: • Which words are most important to understanding the text? • How much prior knowledge will students have about this word or its related concept? • Is the concept significant and does it therefore require pre-teaching? • Is the word encountered frequently? • Does the word have multiple meanings? • Which words can be figured out from the context? • Are there words that could be grouped together to enhance understanding a concept? • What strategies could I employ to help students’ integrate the concept (and related words) into their lives? • How can I make repeated exposures to the word/concept productive and enjoyable? • How can I help students use the word/concept in meaningful ways in multiple contexts?
